Chapter 594: The Best Hides
Shao Xuan's fancy place is also located at the confluence of two rivers, which can facilitate the passage of boats, and when Shao Xuan drew the layout, he also deliberately drew the place where the dock was built on the animal skin scroll.
There were no long-distance missions, no shifts, and no people who went hunting, so they were transferred to the land set by Shao Xuan and began to build.
In the minds of the tribesmen, the first task of the enclosure is to fence off their own place, so that outsiders know that this piece of land belongs to them.
Therefore, in the past few days, every day, some Yanjiao warriors will be seen using thick and tough rattan ropes, tied to a bunch of stones of different sizes on their shoulders or carried on their backs, and transported to the new circle of fields.
The stones were dug on the nearby hills, which were not big but quite common, and still did not belong to any of the tribes, except that from time to time you could see some vigilant outsiders hiding in the bushes, and they were staring at the Yanjiao people who came and went.
Those people who fall outside don't dare to make a move on the people of Yanjiao, and anyone who sees someone who can easily carry so many stones and laugh will be afraid of three points first, not to mention that there are not one or two Yanjiao people they see every time, so they are more careful.
Curious people must have those who live in small tribes that do not know which little corner, they may be very inconspicuous, but they must have their own abilities, their own way of living, otherwise they cannot survive. Shao Xuan will not ignore and underestimate those tribes.
After learning that there were some people from unknown tribes watching in the shadows nearby, Shao Xuan asked people to prepare some wooden signs, and then use the pigment made of plants to write on the wooden cards.
The words written on the wooden plaque tell the tribesmen who came out to forage for food in this neighborhood three things: first, we Yanjiao want this place, and second, we Yanjiao plan to build this place into a trading area, called the Yanhe Trading Area. The trading area will be open once before the official arrival of winter, which tribe wants to trade, you can come and have a look, and thirdly, our Flame Horn has a large number of high-quality animal skins, both beasts and fierce beasts.
After thinking about it, Shao Xuan added another sentence at the end: "Fair trade." Tong Su is not bullied. ”
After writing it, Shao Xuan handed the wooden sign to the soldier who carried the stone, "Find a place to insert it on the road." ”
The soldiers who carried the stones looked at it and understood what Shao Xuan meant, so they didn't say much, picked up the planks and left quickly, they still had to carry the stones.
Yanjiao has a lot of manpower, and the efficiency of transporting stones is also fast, and Shao Xuan has only been encircling this place for two days. The outer wall has been half built, and Shao Xuan said that it will be open before winter, not nonsense, but calculation.
Shao Xuan also asked people to send news to the Yu tribe, the Yu tribe, the Pu tribe, and some nearby tribes that they knew at this stage, telling them about the Yanhe trading area.
The Rain Tribe has already begun to sharpen their knives and prepare for the transaction. They had been stockpiling up, planning to exchange something with Yanjiao before the winter. Now that I know about the Yanhe Trading Area, my interest is even stronger, what the Yanjiao people like, the people of the Rain Tribe may not like, if they only trade with the Yanjiao people, they may not be able to exchange what they need. Now, the emergence of the Yanhe trading area may give them more choices, and they are naturally busy with all their efforts.
Some of the idle craftsmen in the tribe, after finishing up on the shipbuilding side. Also come over to help. Lao Ke also came, he has limited mobility, but he is still good at polishing stone and wood, and he can help if he builds a house. If Caesar is here, he will carry Lao Ke and cross the Yan River with other warriors in a boat, and then go back when he is done, and if Caesar goes hunting, Chirp will bring Lao Ke over, and he doesn't even have to sit on a boat.
The craftsmen of Yanjiao did not rest after the completion of the shipbuilding, and took the initiative to ask for help, they like to create, not to mention, the Yanhe trading area is a good thing for Yanjiao, they are happy to be so busy.
The team had already left, and before the team left, Shao Xuan had already determined the land of the Yanhe trading area, so before the team left, he had said to the people who traveled far away that if he went to the inland trading area, tell the people there that the best animal skins were in the Yanhe trading area.
Is that wrong? Yes, absolutely!
The people of Yanjiao dared to shout openly, "We just have the best hides!" and it was also true.
At the same time, Shao Xuan also asked the soldiers who traveled far away to tell the outsiders who traded inland that animal skins were more expensive in winter, and if they wanted to exchange the same thing for more animal skins, they would go to the Yanhe trading area to exchange them in other seasons.
In the past two winters, the climate was abnormal, and there was naturally no need for animal skins, but now that the catastrophe has passed, the climate will return to its original state, and there may be other changes, but it will definitely not immediately repeat the situation of the past two years.
In many parts of the continent, it will definitely snow in winter, and it may even be colder, otherwise, the migratory birds will not only fly in this direction, but not elsewhere. The demand for animal skins will definitely soar this year, and the past disaster has caused many tribes to suffer heavy losses, and they may not be able to get enough animal skins to keep warm, even if there is, how can the animal skins of the beasts be compared to the skins of the fierce beasts?
There are also people who use animal hair, feathers, straw and other things as fillers, and make simple jackets out of linen, but when it comes to keeping warm, there is definitely no fur to be convenient and strong, especially the fur of fierce beasts, which is very popular with many people.
The animal skins brought out by the far-away team will definitely be sold out, but as for whether the people there will come to the Yanhe trading area to exchange for animal skins, it is uncertain.
Shao Xuan didn't plan to make the Yanhe Trading Area known to everyone right away, this is not something that can be completed in a short time.
However, the appearance of this trading area will definitely attract more tribesmen from the upper and lower reaches of the Yan River, so that Shao Xuan can get more news from the upper and lower reaches of the Yan River without having to take a boat by himself.
There are talents to communicate, and there is communication to have information circulation, and what Yanjiao does is just to provide a place for communication.
Of course, there will definitely be some people with bad intentions who come over and want to rob or steal, and for such people, Yanjiao has always had only one attitude: kill!
Even friendly tribesmen will not show mercy to those who steal or rob their belongings.
Shao Xuan compared the drawings drawn on the animal skin scroll and explained it to the craftsmen who built it, and after making sure that they understood, he went to the next place.
And the team transporting the stones had already left the trading area with the wooden planks written by Shao Xuan and went to the place where the mountains were carved.
They walked among the trees, carrying stones to and fro for the past two days, and had come out of a path, where the trees had been cut down, the obstructions on the path had been removed, and the grass on the ground had been trampled into mud.
"Just plug it in here. Lang Ga thrust the plank he was carrying into the side of the path, glanced quickly at the woods not far away, and then left with the others.
Shortly after they left, several figures approached cautiously, unkempt and clad only in some haphazardly woven vine grass, and after taking two steps, they stopped to listen to make sure that there was no one else around before continuing to approach.
They came to the wooden board that had been inserted here, and the man at the head frowned and looked at the words on the board, his expression was a little difficult, as if it was difficult for him to make out the words on the board.
While it is true that there is a common script and language on the continent, not every tribe has such a high literacy rate.
The man at the beginning finally finished reading the words on the board, and then he muttered to the people behind him, and when several people gathered in a circle to discuss, another person stood on the periphery and watched cautiously around.
When the discussion was over, the man who was the first man walked to the plank, gritted his teeth and pulled it up.
After pulling it out, several people ran away as if there was a fierce beast chasing after them.
So, when Lang Ga came over with the stone, he saw that where he had inserted the wooden sign, there was only a pit. (To be continued.) )
PS: At the end of the month, the fat will be cleared, everyone pay attention to check their ticket folders.
